Rav4 V6 DFW Dilema Solved by obssess

Well, my husband put an end to my quandry! We went with the Barelona Red! For 2 reasons, 1) Silver was 45 minutes away and at a large volume dealer that probably would have tag-teamed us after we arrived 2)Red one had alarm system that would discount our insurance. Here is the lowdown on purchase: . I finally got the down to $23,600 OTD= $25,339.16. However, I got them to add leather at $1100 xtra making selling price $24,700 OTD= $26,510.00. When we got to the dealership. salesman had added $40 to price. I made him take it off. then we get to finance dept to sign papers they had added $140 to OTD for aftermarket add-ons. I told them this was a deal breaker. I am sure that both price increases were to make up for salesman giving me leather for $1100 because every dealer I talked to quoted $1250 for that addition. There was not much of a hassle he lowered the price of the vehicle to compensate for the $140 and OTD was again $26,510.00. I know they made a little money but I became weary, I was on the phone and email for the last 2 days and no one else would sell me the car for that price. Perhaps, if I had waited until next week ..... but couldn't wait. In the end I am very happy with the purchase. It has the following: CD,PR,RL,TO,CF,S6,P4,vin etching and tint and will have leather next week. I am going to ask them today if they will sell me mud flaps at dealer cost. Hope this helps anyone else looking in Dallas-Ft.Worth area. Please feel free to comment on my final deal. I am anxious to know what everyone thinks!!

I don't have the exact numbers with me but I paid about 25.6k OTD so I reckon ithe TTL must have been about 1.7k to 1.8k.

Here's an update:
 
After spamming almost 20 dealers and negotiating with about 5 of them, I got this quote:
 
Silver 2008 Rav4 4X4 V6 Limited
EJ - JBL stereo system
HD - heated seats
LA - leather
RL - day-time running lights
SR - moonroof
TO - tow prep package
 
Sales price after $1000 rebate = $26,665
Price OTD = $29,291.83
 
Supposedly, they gave me a price that was $200+ BELOW invoice (and according to Edmunds, this seems true). This was after I told them that I would be financing the car through my own credit union + cash down. The only catch was that they told me I need to make the purchase before the end of this weekend (like most of the other dealers). Seems good to me, and I was able to get 2 other quotes within $100 of this.

It does, thanks. There's actually two in my general area at around that same price, so either this is a really sought-after model year, or there's more to them than meets the eye.
 
Thanks for your help!

Good Deal? by geobee

I live in So. California and just got a Silver 2008 4x2 Rav4 Base Model (#4430E), with the 3rd row seat pkg. for $21,200 before $1000 rebate. Accessories include: FE, DR, AA, TH, CT, EF & we got the nice cargo net that comes with the Sport trim and a cover for the trunk space thrown in (dealer said the 2 were worth about $400). OTD was $22,900 after rebate. I think this was a good deal, but would love someone to confirm that it was.

If you believe Edmunds, the invoice for your car was $27,929 (exclusive of TDA). So if you paid $27,665 before rebate, you did get it for $264 below invoice.
 
4x4 LTD V6 $24,632
Freight $745
LA Leather Seats $840
SR Moon Roof $720
EJ Radio $480
HD Heated Seats $352
TO Tow Prep $128
RL Running Lights $32
TOTAL $27,929.00
 
I bought the very same car back in March for $28,254 (about $300 over invoice and NO REBATE) which was a good deal at the time. What a difference 5 months makes!

Our OTD price was $22851.31 after applying the $1K rebate, but... we didn't' get the cargo net and trunk cover. I think we both did very well! If you would have wanted the cargo tray and cover, your deal wins. Luckily the cargo cover from my old Highlander kinda fits the Rav. Enjoy your Rav!

From which dealer in DFW did you buy your Rav4?
Thanx
